On Wednesday, actor and producer Ashton Kutcher attacked Walmart on Twitter over its low wages.

The Twitter war started when Kutcher posted a tweet accusing the retailer of providing low wages on Nov. 19, linking to an article by The Wire suggesting that an Ohio Walmart's food drive offering a Thanksgiving dinner to underprivileged families was proof that the company gives its employees low wages:

That same day, Walmart Newsroom posted a tweet announcing that it had given more than 350 employees on-the-spot job promotions during multi-city town hall meetings in Atlanta, Dallas and Phoenix. But some people saw it as a way to divert attention from the negative reactions to the food drive:

Only so they can try and get some good press. It's a self promotion. @WalmartNewsroom
